My experience is that we are generally so isolated from other nations and cultures that we simply lack the exposure and experience that would remotely compare to that in other countries. So knowledge or even the simple appreciation of different currencies, languages, governments, societal differences, etc. are lacking not from neglect or disregard but mostly because there is little need. We're just ignorant.
